WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mirco Mariotti Surlie is produced using the Ancestral Method, also known as Pétillant Naturel (Pet Nat). This involves bottling the wine before its primary fermentation is fully complete, allowing the remaining sugars and yeasts to ferment in the bottle, creating natural carbonation. The grapes are sourced from old Fortana vines, aged between 50 to 70 years. The wine may undergo a period of aging on its lees, contributing to its texture and character.
